Compare gives users the ability to pick a Metric, choose what to Inspect, and compare it against a Baseline. Comparisons can be either across time periods or based on Criteria.
Terminology
Metric: Metric (reason/tracked keyword/metadata) is what is being compared.
Criteria: Comparisons can be across time periods, or across specific criteria. Here, criteria can be any metadata associated with feedback, or predicted reasons and tracked keywords.
Inspect: Inspect is what is being compared. This is the numerator.
Baseline: Baseline is what the inspect is being compared against. This is the denominator.
Compare allows users to do the following:
Compare metrics, for two different values of a field in query criteria ( for the same time period)
Compare metrics, for two different values of a field, for two different time ranges
Initiate a comparison from the taxonomy by selecting a metric as the base
Compare a particular metric against the base and know the points of interest by setting a limit
Pivot to a table view for the time range so that users can sort and dissect the data better
Constructing a Compare Query
Here are some examples of setting up a Compare across time periods, and across criteria:
Comparing Across Time Periods
Let's set up a Compare to look at Reasons which have had the greatest increase in customer feedback this month, compared to the previous month -- to understand how comparisons across time periods work.
Steps
Set the Metric to
Reason
from the drop-downSet Compare By to
Time
-- which is the default selectionSet Inspect Duration to
last one month
from the date-picker that opens up on click -- which is also the default selection
Set Baseline Duration to
Previous Month
from the drop-down

Comparing Across a Criteria
We'll set up a Compare to look at Tracked Keywords that have the greatest difference in mentions when inspecting feedback received in French, compared to English for the last 6 months.
Steps
Set the Metric to
